About Continuum
“Movement is the message, and the messenger”, as Emilie Conrad observed. Our degree of freedom in life and art is revealed in the way that we move. The refined versatility that Continuum affords both body and mind, fosters an open engagement with every circumstance of my life. Awareness of myself as interpenetrating waves of fluid, tissue and energy allows me to shift my inner experience into an outer world “play”. Breath, sound and subtle multi-dimensional movement helps me dive into the deep waters of the body to effortlessly emerge into the unexpected unknown, translating my teaching, performing and dancemaking into an art of being in service ~ the transmission of possibility.
